Lauterborn Era Set to Begin at Genesee
Speedway
(By
Dave Sully)
(Rochester, NY) After considerable
speculation and rumors of closure, following
the ouster of Dave McCready and Al Graham as
promoters at Genesee Speedway, located at the
Genesee County Fairgrounds in Batavia, NY, the
fair board has accepted a lease proposal from
long time sprint car racer and businessman
from Rochester, Mike Lauterborn, to operate
the facility. The highly respected Lauterborn
has promised a complete facelift for the staid
facility, which has fallen into disrepair in
recent years and has endured considerable
criticism of track conditions, which have made
some racers reluctant to compete there.
Lauterborn has made a major commitment, opting
for a five year lease, renewable for another
five years, giving the facility the stability
it needs for Lauterborn to facilitate the
changes he believes are needed to upgrade the
speedway to the highest standards.
